In today’s social media environment where the speed and creation of sharing knowledge is changing, the traditional Intranet is struggling to keep up the growing needs of a modern organisation.  This infographic produced by Social Cast looks at:

  1. The State of the Intranet:  What is it?  Who uses it and ways Intranets are being used.
  2. The Evolution of the Intranet:  How internal intranets have evolved from the 1990′s to present day.
  3. Why traditional Intranets fail:  Out of date information, ineffective collaboration, poorly managed content and poor search functionality all contribute to the failures of traditional Intranets.
  4. Steps to improve an Intranet: Better search functionality, better information architectures, clear intranet strategies, content strategies and knowledge sharing are key elements that can be improved to make intranets usable and effective for modern employees in the workplace.
